Comment on Noah Smith on ‘Economics Without Math Is Trendy, But It Doesn’t Add Up’
Blog-Reference and Blog-Reference adapted to context
Noah Smith is only partly correct. The whole truth is that Walrasianism, Keynesianism, Marxianism, and Austrianism are PROVABLY false, i.e. materially and formally inconsistent. It is not just about Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy. The ultimate reason for the all-around failure is the scientific incompetence of economists (including Noah Smith, of course).
For more details about the actual state see The scientific self-elimination of Heterodoxy and cross references Heterodoxy.
